Griffin Mill : I will not work for Larry Levy.
Joel Levison : I'm not asking you to.
Griffin Mill : I report to you. If I have to report to Larry Levy, I quit.

Griffin Mill : Why Levy?
Joel Levison : Levy was available. He's good on material, you're good with writers. We're a team. He's a new member of the team, that's all. He can make us all look good.
